BioShock: Infinite for PC, X360 and PS3 is the next installments of renowned series of shooters including intriguing storyline and complex gameplay. The production’s codename was Project Icarus. It is not supposed to continue the story presented in the underwater city of Rapture (BioShock, BioShock 2); it is a spin-off. The game was created by Irrational Games, renowned for BioShock or System Shock 2.

Story

The action takes place in the early 20th century. You play as Booker DeWitt, a detective working for the Pinkerton Agency. Unfortunately, he is dismissed after a mistake and starts working on his own, taking well-paid, but extremely dangerous and risky jobs. One of them takes DeWitt aboard Columbia, an extraordinary aerial city. The metropolis was thought to be a peaceful project, but it has been turned into a flying fortress. The city is controlled by an unknown group that kidnaps and imprisons people and threatens the entire world. Your job is to rescue a woman named Elizabeth. It will not be an easy task, because Columbia is being torn by a conflict between two groups. Each of them has its own plans towards the woman. The rulers of the city kept her in prison for fifteen years and they are ready to lock her for even longer period of time. On the other hand, a radical military faction known as Vox Populi wants to use Elizabeth to take the power over Columbia.

The 10th Anniversary of BioShock Infinite, Game That Boldly Deconstruced American Exceptionalism

The 10th Anniversary of BioShock Infinite, Game That Boldly Deconstruced American Exceptionalism

There is always a lighthouse, there's always a man, there's always a city. And there's always the ideology that BioShock is trying to deconstruct. In Infinite, it was about a particularly sensitive issue: the American sense of uniqueness against the whole world.

Expansion

March 25, 2014

Action

The second major story expansion for BioShock: Infinite. It follows the events of the first expansion. However, this time we play not as Booker DeWitt but Elisabeth, who was previously an independent character, herself. The heroine wakes up in unknown circumstances with a pistol aimed at her face. She makes a promise which saves her from death. According to this obligation, she is supposed to help a group of people led by Atlas in their return to the underwater city of Rapture. In contrast to BioShock: Infinite and the first expansion, it focuses mainly on stealth. An additional feature of the game is the 1998 game mode (reminiscent of Thief's release date), which requires the player to complete the entire game without killing anybody.

Expansion

November 12, 2013

Action

The first official story expansion for BioShock: Infinite, created by Irrational Games. Burial at Sea - Episode One is a nod to the fans of the first two parts of the series, for it brings the players back to one of the alternative dimensions of the underwater metropolis known as Rapture. The player is put in the shoes of Booker DeWitt, a detective whose job, at Elizabeth's request, is to find a girl named Sally - a character from the actual BioShock: Infinite. When exploring the corners of the utopian metropolis before the rebellion and eventual collapse, the protagonist discovers that the ideal city is actually very far from being a paradise. Instead, it is home to many dark secrets. The gameplay remains unchanged and is largely based on fighting big groups of enemies in fast-paced fashion. In combat, the player can choose from a variety of firearms and supernatural powers that come with the plasmids.
